I've got a very strange server issue?

I have a new dual Xeon server running 2000 server which has been running smoothly since its inception. I've realized that everytime I attempt to remove a program and/or open a folder, it hangs up and will not respond. Even if I stop to stop a service, it times out and freezes as stopping and won't clear until I reboot. I have 1 gig of DDR so I would think that insuffient memory isn't the cause.

-I've run virus scans
-I've rebooted
-I've checkedthe event viewer with nothing found
-I've checked the microsoft KB, with no results.

I'm about to reinstall sp3, which has been on the machine since it was built.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance...

Sounds like a memory problem, set performance monitoring and watch mem usage as you open folders. Try different memory.

We had the same problem with a large Dell server. We were on the phone will dell for about 3 days before my admin got sick and tired and demanded a replacement server. Of course you have to jump through all the hoops, but at a certain point, you can always demand a replacement.
